Gunn, Uhl win finale
Curtiss Gunn (Successfulliving.com) and Sarah Uhl (Cheerwine) won the finale to the USA Crits Southeast Series on Sunday, the Decatur Daily Downtown Criterium in Decatur, Alabama.
Gunn spent most of the men’s race off the front with Mike Olheiser (Memphis Motor Werks), soaking up all the primes, then took an easy sprint win over the Cat. I from Huntsville.
The women’s race saw Uhl and five other riders escape the field, with Uhl proving strongest at the finish, as the contenders for the overall sat on behind.
When the final points were tallied, the overall titles went to Mark Hekman (Abercrombie & Fitch) and Tina Pic (Colavita-Sutter Home), who no doubt found the victory a suitable present for her 41st birthday.
